In today's rapidly changing business environment, the importance of building a culture of compliance cannot be overstated. Achieving this objective requires overcoming a range of challenges, particularly in the area of values alignment. One of the most significant hurdles is building an organisation that not only recognises the company's values, but truly embodies them. In this episode, we talk about the modern approach to compliance and ethics, and how Endava's move towards integrity has transformed its organisational culture. We also emphasise the importance of establishing a system of checks and balances to monitor compliance and identify potential risks, and taking swift action to address any found violations. Join Ilija Gospodinov, Head of Integrity and Legal Operations of Endava, and host Scott Lane as they discuss how this approach takes into account legal compliance and organisational culture, and how it has been received by leadership and employees alike – ultimately building a culture of compliance and a shared commitment to integrity, transparency and accountability.

ESG covers a broad spectrum of sustainability and ethical practices in business. However, there is currently no single standard that companies can follow consistently. As a result, companies are relying on individual standards that already exist within specific topics that fall under the ESG umbrella.In this episode, we delve into the anti-corruption standard and explore how companies can use it to build and maintain their programmes. We also discuss the process of gaining certification under this standard as a way to leverage the hard work put into building ESG programmes.Join Alessandro Macedo, Head of Ethics & Compliance of Tractebel - Engie Group, and host Scott Lane as they share insights and opinions on the importance of standardisation and the ultimate goal of having a consistent methodology across the world for ESG.

We know that the effort put into our organisations’ environmental social governance programmes does not stop after the build stage – monitoring and measuring is absolutely key. And part of monitoring and measuring involves data: reviewing data, understanding data, and hopefully one day getting to a stage where you can use that data to predict when issues might happen.In this episode, we talk about how to search through the 60 billion communications exchanged every day to try to locate information about your business and its ESG initiatives. How do we find accurate information? How can we rapidly locate it? How can we discover it in a way that has an effect on our business and motivates some of our monitoring and measuring?Join the conversation with Jochem Verberg, Co-founder of Tricycle Europe, and host Scott Lane.

ESG is behavioural. The traditional definition of ESG is very heavily focused on just the ‘E’ in ESG, but leaders are now having to deal with a lot more issues – complex issues around globalisation, politics and economics, which are far more pronounced now than they were previously.In this episode, we discuss a clear step-by-step path for companies to integrate ESG at every level, and have conversations that will challenge you to abandon your current thinking and use the principles of ESG to drive business performance, build value for customers and protect the community and the planet. Join the conversation with Scott Lane, founder and CEO of Speeki, and host Graham Brown.
